      Family Research Council, a conservative organization, has a shooting take place at the headquarters, by a man who stated the attack was based on political ideas.....he opposed....and the Southern Poverty Law Center ( a multi-million dollar organization that is very liberal).....has the FRC as a 'hate group'. For what reason: it actually stands for pro-life, anti-abortion, pro-tradiational marriage, anti-same sex marriage, etc. The nerve of the FRC.

      For those things, they are a 'hate' group, and promoted as such by groups like SPLC.....

      But, as the SPLC & other liberal sites call it a hate group, criticize it as such.....they are not helping create 'terrorism'.....not creating more intolerance and hatred......that might propel a gay activist, with a Chick-Fil-A bag in hand, ot shoot at an innocent person at the center?

      Where is the outrage?
      Why wasn't this, and why isn't this, a front page story?

      Again, the liberal bias, and storyline the media wishes to promote only, is allowed full coverage.

      Sad to see.

      An attack on a private group, based on hatred and intolerance and disdain is as much a hate crime as an attack on any other group, for the same reasons. It's wrong.
